This week’s sex column in TOC: oral sex techniques, hitting the cervix during sex, semen allergy and sex swinging out of state

Yep, that’s a lot for one little sex column – and yet, here it is! You can read all about someone looking for great surefire oral sex techniques (cunnilingus, not fellatio), why it is that a woman might feel like her partner’s penis is hitting up into her stomach (meet the cervix!), what to do if a woman is allergic to semen/ejaculate and what to do if you and your partner want to get into the swing scene (not the kind of swinging shown above)… but out of state where you won’t end up running into friends or family while naked. Read my weekly In&Out column here.
